With further consideration, on the other hand, if we set `if ARCH_STARFIVE`
here, it can point out that we need the reset driver to boot up JH7110
besides the clock drivers, and the reset driver is not a necessary option
for compilation test. So the reset driver is independent to the clock
drivers when you doing a compilation test.

If we set `if RESET_CONTROLLER` here, the reset driver will be compiled
automatically when (ARCH_STARFIVE [=n] && COMPILE_TEST [=y] && 
RESET_CONTROLLER [=y] && CLK_STARFIVE_JH7110_SYS [=y]).
